Fake Yo-Yo Master
If you have been on Yahoo! at all in the past few days, you'd see a story about the yo-yo master Kenny Strasser or K-Strass as he's known on stage. He is a master of the art of yo-yo and is a representative of ZimZam Yo-Yo, the first green nonprofit toy company. There is something that sets Kenny apart from every other yo-yo master in the world. He's a fake. Mr.Strasser would have his "agent" Joe Guehrke contact local media outlets and inform him that he is a yo-yo master that teaches children environmentally friendly virtues through his zany tricks and antics on stage. These zany antics include dropping the yo-yo whilst spinning it in the air and picking up his cellular phone during a live broadcast to take an important call. K-Strass booked about 3 different media outlets and the show was pretty much the same outcome. When the first outlet, WSAW's "Sunrise at Seven", tried to reach Joe Guehrke, he replied, "We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. Kenny is going through some tough times and we wish him well in the future." See the antics for yourself at :www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF-bsqrPo-8
